I have spent a miserable weekend with nausea and fatigue. Patti called the doctor on Easter to help me stop the vomiting but he was a substitute and he was so hard to understand that we questioned what he prescribed. Further, half of what he prescribed CVS did not have so we did nothing with it. All I did was sleep. I dropped 7 pounds from Friday night until now. We have put in a call to the oncology nurse but that was more than an hour ago and still nothing back. I have to be able to take pills before the treatments and keep them down. We will have to see what happens.
I will tell you this interferon is tough. All the doctors and nurses said it would be and it is everything they said it would be. I am exhausted even after a good rest. My body aches and my head feels in a cloud all the time. I feel confused a lot but I have to put it in my head that I must beat this treatment to make it work. We will be leaving in about 3 hours for the hospital. Hopefully I can keep something down by then or I do not know what they will do. Please pray for me for strength thru this and pray that the interferon does it's job in ridding my body of any cancer that may still be in here.
Please pray for Patti. This is tough on her too. I get to sleep most of the time while she still cares for the house and me and tries to encourage me every minute. If I live thru all this she will be the one who gets me thru. I thank God for giving her to me.

Hi Steve and Patti,
Ir's a little after 8:30 and I just read your blog. I pray things went better than you expected. We continue to pray for BOTH of you, that the Lord will help you through these difficult days!
We love you, Ken & Mary Louise
I have never forgot the chemo treatments but I don't think they compare to these interferon treatments that you are taking. Chemo was not daily; between treatments I had a chance to recover before the next one. We both are praying for you and Patti.Before my chemo the Dr. said that he advised that I take it but he repeated three or four times; this is poison that we are putting in your body. I felt like I need to do as he had advised but still have some problems that I think is the result of taking it but l went the clinic last week and everything seems to be ok.
We missed seeing you on Resurrection Sunday, but now we know why. We're praying you were able to get the meds in before your next treatment, and that things only improve from here! We are so blessed and challenged by your faith in our Risen Savior. We are praying that God's grace and goodness sustain you as never before! Take care of each other... Kris & Judy
